Which version of libdb? It is reported at amavisd startup, e.g.: Creating db in /var/amavis/var/db/amavis/; BerkeleyDB 0.32, libdb 4.6 A possible way of finding out if bdb lock resources are being depleted is to periodically run db_stat, e.g.: db_stat-4.6 -c -h /var/amavis/db/ > And we must restart amavisd because our spools keep on growing and > growing in deferral queue.

The MTA-side of the log doesn't say much, you'd need to take a look at the amavisd log, preferebly at log level 5. > Feb 25 11:37:35 serverA amavis[22568]: (22568-01) Actual message size > 104462 B greater than the declared 104301 B > I would understand why there is a difference between size of message > declared and actual message size and what could we do against that ? Just a frequent warning, can be ignored. It is not related to this issue. The difference is due to the way line-endings are counted: RFC 1870 says they should be counted as two characters CR and LF, Postfix provides just a close estimate of the size. > I think BerkeleyDB lock's problem is a consequence of amavisd's crash. Maybe. The sequence of events shown by log level 5 at the time of a crash could confirm or reject the hypothesis.
